    Either I've got the wrong fighter or sky sports and dillian whyte are re****ed.

    Saying his record is 10-3-2 with 3 knockouts and hasn't lost on 6 or 7 years
    I've got it as 10-8-2 and lost in 2014....

    Oh and dillian says he wants a tough come back fight...

    I thought it was that he hadn't been knocked down/out in 6 years? I'd still fancy Leonet to beat either DeMori or Gjergjaj.
    Agree that it's poor if Sky have got his record wrong.

    Leonet is durable and has not been stopped in 6 years.
    Higher ranked than Dave Allen not a bad fight for Whyte coming back from a serious shoulder injury.

    Have to agree...he's not Ortiz but he's more credible and tougher than I expected from Eddie after surgery and a long layoff.

    i think its a good comeback opponent, the frenchman looks durable at least.

    I would be durable as well if I only fought tomato cans. Whyte sparks him in 3, an opponent like Dominic Guinn would have been better.

    I think this sort of opponent is just fine straight after getting stopped by aj and shoulder surgery.

    The same Dominic Guinn who refused to fight Whyte for the Minto fight? I believe he pulled out because he wasn't offered enough $$$ for a fight he knew he'd end up being KO'd in.

    Not that bad an opponent considering.

    Compared to others in a similar position anyway...

    So long as he's busy I don't mind this fight. Someone like a Kassi after this would be fine.

    Didn't know that. But Guinn is really a durable opponent, this guy isn't. But it's normal after being KTFO in his last fight, rebuild that confidence.
